00:00:01.840 --> 00:00:08.080
hi my name is inge haugen and i'm 
here to do a module on an intro

00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:18.160
hi my name is inga haugen and i'm your librarian 
this module is specifically designed for virginia  

00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:22.560
cooperative extension master gardeners 
but anybody who finds this information  

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:28.240
useful is absolutely welcome to it this is an 
introduction to publicly available resources  

00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:34.160
specifically tailored to extension master 
gardeners but i definitely repeat anybody who  

00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:43.840
finds this information useful is welcome to use 
it these are publicly available resources for all  

00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:50.160
again i'm inga haugen and i'm your librarian i'm 
not an attorney um which matters sometimes when  

00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:56.400
we start talking about details of different types 
of licensing around resources you may have seen  

00:00:56.400 --> 00:01:02.720
some of my other modules around those aspects 
i probably could have taken that out for this  

00:01:02.720 --> 00:01:11.600
presentation but i'm still not an attorney 
so the links for what we're going to go  

00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:18.800
look at are available here and so now let's 
go live to be able to go see those resources  

00:01:18.800 --> 00:01:25.680
out on the web so the first link that we have 
there is a resource guide that has been crafted  

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:32.880
by yours truly and some of her colleagues at 
the virginia tech university libraries these  

00:01:32.880 --> 00:01:40.480
resources are available for everyone and so we 
have created this research guide or subject guide  

00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:53.840
to be able to have all of these links in one 
space so we can direct people towards them  

00:01:55.200 --> 00:02:00.160
you should feel free to share this link with 
anyone that you think could benefit by the  

00:02:00.160 --> 00:02:10.640
information that's provided here i have my screen 
set at 150 to be able to make it more available  

00:02:10.640 --> 00:02:17.120
and easy to see on the recording this is 
probably not what you will see immediately  

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:22.560
when you come to the page it's more likely 
the page will look something like this

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.960
but because i want for you to be able to see 
the resources i'm working with very clearly  

00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:38.640
i'm going to go back to a larger setting to 
make sure that the recording is useful to you  

00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:44.000
so within this space there are different 
tabs at the top of this resource  

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:49.840
and all of these i hope are 
useful to you in different ways

00:02:52.320 --> 00:02:59.120
the idea of open access is an important 
one and so open materials and open access  

00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:04.080
can speak to the idea that these materials are  

00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:10.720
appropriately available at no cost 
so this is copyright compliant  

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:17.840
this is appropriately licensed these materials 
are designed to be available to the public

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:27.360
the information that we have on 
this libguide is very very broad  

00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:33.680
we have open courseware for teachers we 
have open source software in different ways  

00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:42.160
and then what i think of is more of a 
traditional resource that comes into data sets  

00:03:42.160 --> 00:03:49.120
and specific items that are available because 
this module is for extension master gardeners  

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:53.680
i definitely want to highlight the agriculturally 
based resources that we have in this space  

00:03:54.320 --> 00:03:59.440
although i think the digital public library of 
america is super fantastic and could be a very  

00:03:59.440 --> 00:04:05.200
appropriate place for you to upload some of 
your own materials when you're talking about  

00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:12.720
the culturally relevant connections that you have 
to your community so some of the work that you do  

00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:19.200
might actually be appropriate to be able to put 
into dpla which is the digital public library of  

00:04:19.200 --> 00:04:25.280
america the databases that i specifically want to 
bring to your attention for your own research to  

00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:35.040
be able to find pieces of information are actually 
here so the biodiversity heritage library there  

00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:42.640
are scanned historic and biological literature 
pieces from major natural history museum libraries  

00:04:42.640 --> 00:04:48.800
botanical libraries research institutions um 
and the craziest thing about the biodiversity  

00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:57.520
heritage library is the time frame that it covers 
they have information and resources from 1480  

00:04:57.520 --> 00:05:03.600
until today pretty wild so i think that there 
are some nifty things that you can find in there  

00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:08.880
one thing to be aware of no matter where 
you find information you are an information  

00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:15.040
consumer and it is important that you keep 
your [ __ ] filter engaged to your bs filter  

00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:21.680
to make sure that the information that you're 
working with is appropriate considering all of the  

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:27.600
options that are surrounding you and so when 
we're talking about historical information  

00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:32.000
there might be information that is no longer 
appropriate particularly concerning different  

00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:39.520
types of pesticides insecticides or different 
types of chemical use in in different different  

00:05:39.520 --> 00:05:44.960
locations so please be aware as you are accessing 
different types of resources that you must  

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:54.320
be a information consumer who is considerate and 
you are going to use your filters to think about  

00:05:54.320 --> 00:05:59.120
the resources that are here even though i am 
suggesting that you use them and they're really  

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:05.200
good resources everybody can make a mistake um 
there could be inaccurate information that's put  

00:06:05.200 --> 00:06:12.640
forward accidentally so always make sure that 
you are being a very savvy information consumer  

00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:20.720
pubmed from the national library of medicine might 
not have anything to do with what is interesting  

00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:26.720
to you but maybe it does maybe you want to 
be able to teach about histamine response to  

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:32.000
different types of plants and so the information 
that you seek would actually be contained in more  

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:38.960
of a public health area and so there might be 
information within pubmed that would be of use  

00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:46.960
to you but i definitely want to make sure that 
you see pub ag from the usda and so there is all  

00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:53.520
sorts of agricultural literature within pub ag so 
public ag public agriculture uh that's where that  

00:06:53.520 --> 00:07:00.320
name comes from and then the plants database 
i think could be super cool for you so i hope  

00:07:00.320 --> 00:07:06.960
that you check out those resources to be able 
to find some nifty things in those spaces  

00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:15.680
additionally there are other types of repositories 
so a place where we collect different types  

00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:22.560
of information and so um the smithsonian 
institute digital library is gonna have some  

00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:28.160
really nifty items to be able to look at it's 
the smithsonian they always do a great job  

00:07:29.440 --> 00:07:37.200
and then there's a directory of open as access 
repositories and so that's a list of different  

00:07:37.200 --> 00:07:44.720
places that have that open access um model so 
you can go into that space and move forward  

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.120
journals in particular as opposed to databases 
so i had just talked about databases and now i'm  

00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:56.320
going to talk about journals um and then the 
first thing is actually the directory of open  

00:07:56.320 --> 00:08:01.520
access journal doaj and that's not actually 
a journal in and of itself it's a listing  

00:08:01.520 --> 00:08:09.520
of open access journals and all things being 
equal i will most highly recommend doaj the  

00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:16.720
philosophical underpinnings of why they are doing 
their work something that i vastly appreciate and  

00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:27.200
i will lift up their um their work to be able to 
advocate for open access to resources and research  

00:08:27.200 --> 00:08:33.920
across the whole world so there's some really 
nifty stuff that you can find in doaj jstor  

00:08:33.920 --> 00:08:40.560
is more of a humanities types of things but 
it's not a comprehensive index of any types  

00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:48.240
of information but there's a lot of 
information that's in that space jstor  

00:08:49.280 --> 00:08:56.640
has a broad range of content but not the 
most recent content up until about the last  

00:08:56.640 --> 00:09:05.520
four to two years um it's essentially there's a 
wall there for uh content where you mainly need to  

00:09:05.520 --> 00:09:11.120
access that content in a different space and then 
eventually it will come to jstor to be open so  

00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:18.080
if you need to help a young one learn about 
something jstor might be a really great place to  

00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:28.720
start now agricola from usda is a different type 
of thing than pub ag but there are a whole bunch  

00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.760
of overlap in that space and i don't want to get 
too technical within the library aspect of things  

00:09:35.280 --> 00:09:41.280
but i did want to mention that agricola is 
the public catalog so it is the way to be  

00:09:41.280 --> 00:09:47.200
able to search all of the information and many 
times you can click through to be able to get  

00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:51.920
to the information itself but sometimes not so 
there may have to be another step after you find  

00:09:51.920 --> 00:09:56.240
something in agricola to be able to then search 
for it to get access to it in a different way  

00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:06.640
so those are the options that we have on the very 
first page of the publicly accessible resources  

00:10:06.640 --> 00:10:14.400
i invite you to take a look at the other tabs 
that we have here but i'm going to specifically  

00:10:14.400 --> 00:10:19.920
bring you to a different resource and this 
is the second link on your links handout  

00:10:19.920 --> 00:10:24.960
in the slide deck and this resource 
is called v tech works and it is the  

00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:29.920
institutional repository for virginia tech 
university libraries that's actually the  

00:10:29.920 --> 00:10:35.920
institutional repository for all of virginia 
tech and so that is a space where we have  

00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:43.680
essentially a digital library that allows 
people to have access to our awesome  

00:10:43.680 --> 00:10:48.640
work this could be another place where it would be 
appropriate could be appropriate for you to upload  

00:10:48.640 --> 00:10:53.440
your own materials if you've created something 
that you're really really passionate about and  

00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:58.320
you think is a really incredible resource and you 
want to share it for more people this could be  

00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:04.320
a place to be able to deposit your resource that 
you have created so other people have access to it  

00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:11.760
we are specifically doing outreach to more 
communities outside of virginia tech itself  

00:11:11.760 --> 00:11:17.680
to make sure that we are upholding our land-grant 
mission to be able to work with the communities  

00:11:17.680 --> 00:11:24.080
that we are supposed to support i highly encourage 
you to reach out to me if you want to connect in  

00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:30.080
any kind of way particularly if you're doing any 
kind of community work we have an entire team of  

00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:38.560
people that are connected to that and it is part 
of our forward planning to be able to reach out  

00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:44.720
coming back to the resources that are 
available within virginia tech's vtec works  

00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.320
i hope you can think about this space as a

00:11:55.600 --> 00:12:03.760
place for different types of information 
and because we primarily support virginia  

00:12:03.760 --> 00:12:08.800
tech and that's where we've started our support 
structure to be able to help these researchers  

00:12:08.800 --> 00:12:14.160
there's a lot that happens in that way 
that's structured around the college system  

00:12:14.160 --> 00:12:18.560
and around the way that research and 
teaching happens at virginia tech  

00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:23.120
of course we have a tripartite mission 
which also means that we have extension  

00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:27.760
and so there's specific extension materials in 
this space that could be really useful for you  

00:12:28.400 --> 00:12:34.240
and so i'll invite you to look at the communities 
that we have in virginia tech and vtech works so  

00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:39.200
uh the college of agriculture and life sciences 
could be a great place for you to be able to  

00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:44.400
look for information there's over 8 
000 pieces of information in that space

00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:49.920
i hope that it is  

00:12:51.040 --> 00:12:56.240
something that makes a lot of sense to be 
able to look at the community of the virginia  

00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:02.720
cooperative extension and we've got almost 8 
000 pieces of information in that space as well

00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:08.560
and so those are ways to be able to browse into  

00:13:08.560 --> 00:13:19.840
what's available in those areas 
but you can also choose to

00:13:25.040 --> 00:13:30.560
you can also choose to search so i had to 
decrease the size to be able to get to that search  

00:13:32.400 --> 00:13:36.880
option and so here let's see if we 
can find anything on butterflies  

00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.520
i like butterfly gardens so  

00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:53.440
here there is some information from a 2006 project 
um here's more a butterfly garden here we go

00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:03.040
and so within this resource you can view 
it and open it and here we go all sorts of  

00:14:03.040 --> 00:14:12.720
all sorts of information the specifics of this 
resource are less important for me to show you  

00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:18.000
which is why i haven't tried to be able to 
show you the details of this resource than  

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:25.280
just how to be able to click through to get to 
the resource itself so i invite you to be able to  

00:14:27.280 --> 00:14:35.200
play around with this and search within vtech 
works or go into our communities and collections  

00:14:36.160 --> 00:14:44.240
come on click go there oh doesn't seem to want to 
do that from this screen but i do invite you to  

00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:53.280
explore here there's some really nifty stuff 
um in this space so today we talked about  

00:14:55.280 --> 00:15:02.480
publicly available resources that the librarians 
at virginia tech think are useful and have  

00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:09.120
put together in a resource guide to be able to 
help you find some of those things and we also  

00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:15.520
talked about v-tech works which is virginia tech's 
institutional repository and there are places  

00:15:15.520 --> 00:15:20.160
in both of these spaces where if you think that 
you've got something that you want to be able  

00:15:20.160 --> 00:15:24.560
to add to the conversation and help out the 
next person that's going to be teaching about  

00:15:24.560 --> 00:15:29.600
butterfly gardens or whatever you've brought 
forward that has worked very well for you  

00:15:31.040 --> 00:15:34.000
we have options to be able to 
support you in that work as well

00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:39.840
thank you so much for your time 
please feel free to reach out to me  

00:15:40.400 --> 00:15:53.600
using my contact information 
if i can support you at all
